“The meeting is always virtually indistinguishable. We, as every year, were preparing here on the spot, only went to the control games or here we were rivals. Of course, for football players, the meeting is the worse, which can only be, because it is a heavy load, but because of this it is necessary to go through it to be easier in the season. The meeting was good, they held good sparring, did not lose any game. And somewhere today it was emphasized that it is necessary to continue that positive result.
As for the game, it is clear that it is nice to win the starting match, especially against the team that played in UPL last season. A good team with good infrastructure, with good football players. We were preparing for this game. Seriously looked, disassembled. They won, then thank God.
We scored good balls in the first half. In general, the first half in our performance was quite good. The second half, it is clear that somewhere psychologically the result was drawn on the players. The team was played for maintenance and there were good moments on the left shore. But the team defended, disciplined, plus the goalkeeper rested at some moments. By dedication, I cannot say anything to the players. I thank them for dedication, because I say again, the team may be lower, but at the expense of desire, dedication, you can beat any team, ”said Alexander Chizhevsky.
